Khabib Nurmagomedov, the former UFC lightweight champion, is regarded as one of the greatest MMA fighters to ever grace the UFC cage. Due to his modest character outside of combat, he is also one of the most respected mixed martial artists in the world. Nurmagomedov has claimed on several occasions that he is a devout Muslim. Accordingly, he follows the method and credits his conduct to the principles of faith. His followers love several of his kind gestures like helping his teammates, respecting his opponents and more.
Still, his latest social media attack has left his admirers with a bad impression. Therefore, ‘The Eagle’ receives a lot of hate from the supporters.
Khabib Nurmagomedov criticized by fans for promoting his NFT

The Russian MMA legend posted about his NFT collection on Twitter. The site claims that with his collection, visitors can generate bitcoin and gain entry to Nurmagomedov’s exclusive club.
Customers can use their NFTs, according to the platform, to participate in private events hosted by Khabib Nurmagomedov several times a year. Khabib NFT Collection will even mine Bitcoins for customers, according to the website.
However, after the announcement, ‘The Eagle’ faced an immediate backlash from fans. But Nurmagomedov did not address the situation. He later posted a video about Riba on his Twitter page. Riba, which means interest, is one of the highest forms of sins in Islam.
While the former UFC champion tried to educate fans about it, he received criticism in return for his NFT collection. Check out some comments from fans below.
‘The Eagle’ wanted to train Ciryl Gane before UFC 285
Former interim heavyweight champion Cyril Gane recently suffered one of the biggest losses of his UFC career at the hands of Jon Jones. The match was ended in the first round and Gane’s weak wrestling was exposed.
‘Bon Gamin’ had suffered from the same belief when former champion Francis Ngannou knocked him out last year. After that loss, Khabib Nurmagomedov offered to train Gane in Dagestan.

The old video surfaced after UFC 285. In the interview, Nurmagomedov also offered Gane to bring his entire team to Dagestan to hone his wrestling. However, Gane has yet to respond to the video.
After this loss, ‘Bon Gamin’ will be back on the drawing board. But it remains to be seen if he improves his ground game for the next game or not.
What are your thoughts on Gane’s wrestling ability? What do you think about fans criticizing Nurmagomedov for his NFT business?
